Comparison Of 6 Cell Activator Recipes With Everyday Household Product! 🤯
70,232
Published 2024-01-22
Many beginners have questions about "cell activator" like:
What is cell activator?
Can I use silicone oil as cell activator?
Where to buy cell activator...
The term cell activator was made popular by @Sheleeart and the popular bloom technique, however there are a number of different ways to make cells. Individuals and companies have capitalized on this and have created products which adds to the confusion for a beginner. Understand you can make cells with just paint and water because cells are moreso created simply by pouring (or placing) different densities of paint into each other. Science backs this with the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability theory. We use products like australian floetrol, and silicone oil to help us achieve those effects. These simple questions can be hard to answer because they are loaded questions, but once you understand the concept of the cell making process making them becomes a bit less daunting.

BABYYY You won't believe the depth of colors in this piece: https://youtu.be/JuXGNM7bgzQ?si=hEWpuioAVx7nsFOc
-
The Glue?!? Speechless! I can't even believe it. Keep doing these, dude, you are KILLING. You are answering SO many questions!
-
Great experiment again. I would love to see different products for pouring medium and pillow. Hugs my friend 🧡
-
THE GLUE, AMAZING AND LOW COST. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
-
The glue was a bit of a shock honestly. I appreciate the correct ratio of the water and paint too because when I tried it I added too much water so this helps. I honestly just straight up can't afford Aussie floetrol no matter how pretty it is, so I'm excited to see that there are other options provided you have the right ratios. I don't do many blooms because the cell activator recipes I've tried before don't really work all that well for me so this is super encouraging. Thank you!!
-
People, i ran low on floetrol so just diluted my acrylics with only water, and still got beautiful results. Thinking of saving myself a small fortune, mostly ditching the cells and carry on enjoying regardless... all you need is water to create beautiful acrylic pours.
-
That is my type of experiment. Well done Garrick!
-
Garrick, Thank you for this wonderful experiment. You saved the rest of us a lot of time. Also, You have a really great way about you that makes all your videos enjoyable to watch. 🙏
-
One of the reasons you continue to get sells is because you're using titanium White. And also if you were to torch your art and bust the bubbles you would also come up with more lacing and cells as well. But it's actually the titanium white that's giving you cells
-
Great comparison! So many people ask in FB about non-Floetrol recipes; this would be very helpful. Thanks for doing this. PS your sense of humor cracks me up; don’t ever lose that!
-
Wow the results are mind blowing ! The water and paint only ! Dang !! 💕💕🐣
-
Honestly, I was impressed by all of them. I might be leaning more towards the Glue All one though. I’ve only bought one Aussie Floetrol and while I like it, I’m only a hobbyist and can’t justify the cost. Thanks you Garrick for giving us more options. ❤ Looking forward to the next experiment.
-
